Break up them Lions!

I don't see them keeping Stanton and trading away Stafford. I"m just glad to see wins. You can see signs of this team improving little by little. A few more key pieces (secondary) and a few less injuries and they could be a decent team.

We need a little more than that.. 2 starting CB's, at least 1 linebacker, and can we get some help on the O-line? Great win but I want them to be a playoff team before we can deem them good. And they are likely at least 2 seasons from the playoffs. I'm a diehard Lions fan but I am also realistic in my expectation for them.

Oh, I whole-heartedly agree with all of your comments. That's why I'm hoping they do the right thing and trade down with their 1st round pick. We don't need to spend big $$$ again on one person (although Suh has paid off) when we have so many holes to fill. Unless of course they can get free agents to fill those spots.

I too don't see them making the playoffs for at least 2 more years. They're still a team that needs to "learn" to win games. How many times this year did we have the lead going into the 4th quarter only to lose? I'm just glad to see they're making progress, in the right direction.

Glad you aren't drunk on the koolaide like some other fans I'm just hoping the Lions don't get the 5th or 6th pick that is like the kiss of death. You are most likely going to reach at that pick. I'm hoping we win out and maybe put us in somewhere between picks 10 and 15.
